<a name="gdk3-Selections.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The X selection mechanism provides a way to transfer arbitrary chunks of
data between programs. A <em class="firstterm">selection</em> is a essentially
a named clipboard, identified by a string interned as a <a class="link" href="gdk3-Properties-and-Atoms.html#GdkAtom" title="GdkAtom"><span class="type">GdkAtom</span></a>. By
claiming ownership of a selection, an application indicates that it will
be responsible for supplying its contents. The most common selections are
<code class="literal">PRIMARY</code> and <code class="literal">CLIPBOARD</code>.
</p>
<p>
The contents of a selection can be represented in a number of formats,
called <em class="firstterm">targets</em>. Each target is identified by an atom.
A list of all possible targets supported by the selection owner can be
retrieved by requesting the special target <code class="literal">TARGETS</code>. When
a selection is retrieved, the data is accompanied by a type (an atom), and
a format (an integer, representing the number of bits per item).
See Properties and Atoms
for more information.
</p>
<p>
The functions in this section only contain the lowlevel parts of the
selection protocol. A considerably more complicated implementation is needed
on top of this. GTK+ contains such an implementation in the functions in
<code class="literal">gtkselection.h</code> and programmers should use those functions
instead of the ones presented here. If you plan to implement selection
handling directly on top of the functions here, you should refer to the
X Inter-client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM).
